despite not being very good artists
I was moreso hinting that on top of being untalented, the average redditor is lazy (its the home of antiwork, after all) and autistic but not in a way that makes them dedicated (shitting out mass amounts of their autism daily the way many lolcows do).
In general, animation in the west is not doing great. Outside of some dedicated fans, weebs and children (who prefer youtubers over tv more and more), people prefer basic live action thats also cheaper to produce.
I remember a thread on reddit about the most watched netflix shows being revealed and they were SO confused on why the list looked like that/not even knowing the shows because theyre so disconnected from the average person. Meanwhile, the 'popular' unjustly cancelled show was only popular on reddit/twitter. The only actually successful animation is paw patrol and cocomelon.
Only some internet spaces give an actual shit about animation, so it's pretty funny seeing the terminally online freak out so much over ai replacing jobs that didn't exist in the west to begin with
and putting it at higher value and importance than normal jobs while animation isn't even that big in entertainment.
AI writers and actors are a way bigger threat to entertainment than anything animating related. Those people also actually striked, negotiated and donated, current year (wannabe) animators dont seem to do much except reee on reddit that the government should make ai illegal.
